The news of Tongju's victory soon spread throughout Gyeonggi and spread in all directions at a rapid pace.

The government and the opposition in the Ming Dynasty were shocked when they heard this, and after the news that the army of Jiannu broke through the pass from the Yellow Cliff Pass to the city of Beijing, the city of Beijing immediately became a rumor, Chongzhen immediately ordered the Beijing division to be under martial law, and the defenders of the Beijing camp immediately entered the city and closed the gates, holding their heads in the city and waiting to be beaten.

In the next few days, the slave army even went down to Miyun, Huairou, Shunyi and other places, and then forced Tongzhou City, Beijing was a big mess, Chongzhen wanted to send troops to rescue Tongzhou, but He Nai at this time he did not have much troops in the hands of the Ming Emperor, the only remaining soldiers and horses in the Beijing Division, the city was still insufficient, and if it was sent out, it was equivalent to sending food to the Jiannu army, and if it was sent more, it was afraid that it would be eaten by Jiannu, but even the Beijing Division had no soldiers to defend, so the government and the opposition could only sit back and watch Zhang Erzhong defend alone in Tongzhou, Everyone was just waiting for the news that Tongzhou had been broken.

But I didn't think that the situation suddenly took a sharp turn, this menacing Jiannu army, after besieging Tongzhou for a few days, not only was it able to conquer Tongzhou City, but in the Tongzhou area, it was suddenly appeared in Tongzhou Dazhong Army Right Route Army, in one fell swoop to fight a big defeat, and there is news that the slave chief of the Jiannu army on this road Abatai was also beheaded by the Dazhong Army on the spot, more than 30,000 Jiannu army, under the front of the Dazhong Army, the ice disintegrated, and now it is no longer an army, except for most of the Dazhong Army slaughtered in Tongzhou and Shunyi, a small number of Jiannu soldiers who escaped by luck have scattered to the entire Gyeonggi area in a situation of stragglers.

After learning the news of the defeat of the Jiannu army, the people in the Beijing division did not know what the mood should be, and the people of the imperial court were happy on the one hand, happy that these Jiannu were finally unlucky, but at the same time they felt worried, worried that the Dazhong Army was so powerful, even the Jiannu army, which they regarded as extremely terrible, was slaughtered by them, so will the Dazhong Army immediately wave its troops from Tongzhou to kill the Beijing Division? Therefore, this made these imperial relatives in the capital, as well as the court nobles and ministers even more overwhelmed.

The news that came immediately was that Zhang Erzhong, who was guarding Tongzhou City, actually gave up continuing to defend Tongzhou City after the Dazhong Army defeated the Jiannu Army, and surrendered to the Dazhong Army in Kaicheng, making the last gateway of the Ming Jingshi Division also taken by the Dazhong Army, making Beijing City completely an isolated city.

But the common people in the Beijing division have their own opinions, after learning the news of the slaughter of Jiannu, but the majority of them are happy, under the secret propaganda of the Dazhong Army, these people in the Beijing Division do not hate the Dazhong Army at the moment, but there are many ordinary people, and they also wish that the Dazhong Army will come quickly, after the city of Beijing is taken, they will no longer have to suffer the sin of the extremely high price of grain and cannot eat food, and they are very afraid and hated by some people under the deliberate propaganda of some people, for fear that Jiannu will take down the city of Beijing, in that caseNow that they know that the army of Jiannu Abatai is completely wiped out under the hands of Emperor Dazhong, how can these people not be happy, one by one they don't say anything on the surface, but they hide secretly but run to celebrate, looking forward to the Dazhong army coming soon!

However, to the disappointment of the people of Beijing, they then got the news that after the Dazhong army annihilated the Jiannu army on this road, it did not go straight to the Beijing division as they thought, but under the supervision of the Dazhong Emperor Xiao Tianjian, they turned directly from Tongzhou to the northeast and rushed to the Shanhaiguan area.

Therefore, martial law in Beijing will still be carried out for a long time, and the people of Beijing will definitely have to endure for a while! However, the common people also came to such a conclusion through this incident, the Northern Expedition launched by the Emperor Dazhong in person, as they said, they mainly came to represent the Han people in the world, to resist the entry of Jiannu for the incompetent Ming court.

As for the Ming Dynasty now trapped in the capital, it is already inactive, so the existence of the Ming Dynasty has lost its significance, and by this time, there are only a handful of soldiers and civilians who are still thinking about continuing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

But at this time, some courtiers in the capital once again mentioned to Chongzhen about moving the capital.

Seeing that the city of Beijing in the large army under the encroachment of the army, gradually lost the control of the north Zhili, Shandong, completely reduced to a lonely city, those in the city of the Beijing officials have also begun to plan for their future way out, some people have secretly begun to find a way to contact the army, only after the army comes, they will surrender to the army, at least to save their lives, but there are also people who are unwilling to give up their hard to obtain in the Ming Dynasty, these people are nominally very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but in essence, it is still for themselves, they know that once the Ming Dynasty is completely destroyed, their glory and wealth will immediately become a thing of the past, so even in order to maintain their status, they are not willing to watch the Ming Dynasty end.

So there were some courtiers who once again proposed to move the capital, the Beijing division could not hold this is already a lice on the bald head, and it was a clear thing, since Beijing Shuntianfu could not be kept, staying could only be a no end, so a part of the "loyal ministers" began to write during this time, persuading Chongzhen to take advantage of the opportunity when all the attention of the Dazhong Army was focused on the battle between Shanhaiguan and Jiannu, and simply gave up the Beijing division, and immediately ran to the direction of Dengzhou to break through under the protection of the Beijing camp.

Although Nanzhili is now also controlled by the Great Chinese Dynasty, but at present, there are still Fujian, Liangguang, Yunnan, Guizhou and other provinces in the south are still under the control of the imperial court.

And they think that there is a great possibility of success in doing so, although most of the places outside the Beijing division have been controlled by the Dazhong Army, but the thief chief Xiao Tianjian is going north along the canal, only to control the Zhuzhou Prefecture along the canal in Shandong, but for the Jiaodong area of the Dazhong Army is still out of reach, there is no time to clean up, and now there is still Liu Zeqing in Shandong entrenched in the area of Dengzhou Laizhou, where it is still under the actual control of the Ming Dynasty.

And the main force of the Dazhong Army is now all going to Shanhaiguan and Jiannu to the death, in Tianjin Wei and other places are mostly the Ming rebels, the combat effectiveness is not strong, if Chongzhen moves the capital to the south, then under the command of the 20,000 or 30,000 troops in Beijing, they are completely possible to break through the blockade of the Dazhong Army and run to Dengzhou, after arriving in Dengzhou, they can go south by boat.

And the Ming Fujian Navy Division is Zheng Zhilong's department, there are 3,000 ships under his command, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, once Chongzhen can run to Fujian, supplemented by Zheng Zhilong's department, it may not be able to stop the Dazhong Army from going south in the future, at least they also have the opportunity to fight against the Dazhong Army in the south, at this time there are Jiannu in the north, there is Daming in the south, Xiao Tianjian's Great China has turned into the current situation of Daming, the north and south are under the enemy, and there is a thief Li Zicheng in the west against him, Xiao Xingtian's Dazhong Dynasty may not be able to do better, If you don't get it right, Daming really has the possibility of recovery.

The suggestions of these courtiers who advocated going south can be said to be like the last straw for Chongzhen, which is indeed very tempting, and Chongzhen can't help but be moved after listening to it, especially when he is unavailable, he once again used Zhou Yanru as the first auxiliary minister, and Zhou Yanru also agreed to move south at this time, but the ministers such as Chen Yan of the Ministry of Rites are very resistant to this matter, thinking that once Chongzhen abandons the capital, the soldiers of the Beijing camp will definitely collapse as soon as the city gate is opened. It is difficult to say whether you can run to Dengzhou at that time, rather than abandon the city and flee at this time, it is better to stick to the Beijing division, sit and watch the battle between the Dazhong Army and Jiannu in Shanhaiguan, at least it can hold out for a while, otherwise as soon as you get out of the city, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be completely finished.

In short, in the matter of moving the capital, there were different opinions among the courtiers in the court during this time, some people supported it, some people opposed it, those who supported it supported it, and those who opposed it also had reasons to oppose it.

Chongzhen's heart is actually inclined to flee to Fujian at this time, after all, people don't want to die, and he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't want to die, but the reason for Chen Yan and others to oppose the relocation of the capital, he is also very reasonable, Chongzhen is now very clear that the soldiers in the Beijing camp can't be used to fight at all, and if he is ordered to defend the city, it is estimated that he can make do with it, but now if he plans to abandon the Beijing division and flee to the south, the generals of these Beijing camps are basically in the Beijing division. It is estimated that there are not many people who are willing to follow him to Fujian, and if he moves the capital this time, to put it bluntly, he will abandon the capital and flee, and the military spirit will definitely collapse immediately, and it is impossible for him to let these soldiers and generals of the Beijing camp drag their families and families to run together, in that case, 20,000 or 30,000 Beijing camp generals, just their families, I am afraid there will be more than 100,000 people, if they run away, can they run?

Don't let them bring, they will definitely not do it, let them take it, run to Dengzhou, basically impossible, what to eat and drink along the way, the emperor is not bad hungry soldiers He Chongzhen also knows, now he has given the soldiers of the Beijing camp can not get food, for this reason the soldiers of the Beijing camp have long lost any loyalty at all, even if everything goes well, the soldiers of the Beijing camp will escort them to Dengzhou, the relatives of the emperor and the ministers, are there so many boats for them to sit in? So what Chen Yan said also makes sense, if you don't abandon the city and flee, you are waiting for death, but if you go, then it is likely to be death!

So Chongzhen was in a dilemma between these two opinions, and he didn't know how to choose, although he still started the early dynasty, but there were only a handful of officials in the previous dynasty, and there was nothing serious to say after the last dynasty, that is, the two groups of people were arguing endlessly about whether to move the capital, and the matter of moving the capital was also dragged down.
